Frequently Asked Questions? Where will you train?- The current plan is to train at Eastlake North High School. Will there be any league play? Age groups that have enough players, or if we combine 2 age groups, may enter the State Premier League. This will be a group decision as well as an additional cost to cover league expenses. (estimate $150 to cover both fall and spring) Will there be winter training? We hope to have winter training, once or twice per week. We are looking at Eastlake North High School, Andrews Osborne Academy, as well as other local schools. Estimated cost is $200-$400 to cover the months November-March. (fee depends on number of trainings per week as well as the cost to rent the facility) Will there be any teams for indoor leagues? If there are enough players willing to participate, we can enter a league. Cost will depend on the league. Will this type of training prepare them for high school? Yes, the technical demands in training as well as the technical and tactical demands of the 3v3 games will be a great benefit in preparation for high school. It is also recommended to possibly supplement by participating with a travel or premier team for outdoor games.
